TFCON CHICAGO 2016 TORSO SKETCH COMMISSION LIST

++UPDATE 21-9-16 ++

ALL AVAILABLE SLOTS CURRENTLY FILLED! KEEP AN EYE ON TWITTER NEARER THE CONVENTION FOR NEWS OF NEW SLOTS.

MAYBE.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

++END UPDATE++

This year, I've decided to tarnish TFCON Chicago (October 21st-23rd, at the Hyatt Regency: http://www.tfcon.com/) with my presence. I haven't done an American convention since 2009, and I've had two whole Wreckers series come out since then, so I figured I should at least apologise for my absence in person.

As it stands, I'm NOT a guest of the show, just a regular exhibitor/vendor/journeyman type, but the reaction I've had at some European shows in the wake of Sins Of The Wreckers release led me to decide that now is definitely a good time to take the plunge. I've just heard too many good things about the event, and who knows when I'll have enough robot heat again to warrant a visit to one of these shindigs. So, I'm very much looking forward to meeting my fellow IDW creators, and all of you nice folks who chat with me on Twitter, and buy my comics, etc...

I'm there throughout the whole weekend (might have to nip off an hour early on the Sunday for my flight, we'll see) and will have lots of prints (including my MTMTE cast shots) and even original artwork on display and for sale. My current experience of these events is that I haven't got much - if any - time to sketch AT the convention itself. If I can take on sketch requests at TFCon itself that I can guarantee to finish on time without mailing them out, I surely will. But the likelihood is that these commission slots here are all I can be sure of completing, so roll up! Here's how you can get your hands on some tailor-made Nick Roche robot (or otherwise) art!

Pre-Order Price for an A4 Black & WhiteTORSO ONLY shot (20 available) is $100; add $50 for ONE additional character

To be eligible for these, all you need to do is:

* Reply in the comments section below* State YOUR name, the name of the CHARACTER you want, and an idea of the day you'll be available to collect the piece.* Sorry, no fan/original characters, but feel free to request non-TF characters!* The numbers available are as stated above. Once they've been filled, please don't send any more requests unless further slots become available. * ONE Sketch PER PERSON. Please don't make multiple requests.

* Payment must be at TFCon, NOT via Paypal in advance

*I will only be able to accept CASH at TFCon Chicago, no cards.

* PLEASE only order a sketch if you will be able to attend to pick it up, and, you know, pay for it.

* Seriously, this happens a LOT. It's not cool, and I will name and shame offenders!

I've always wanted to meet like-minded people in a Chicago hotel, so help me make my dream come true. See you there!

My name is Dean (@minimusambush)I would like Ambulon and First Aid, in happier times, please. I can pick it up all three days of the Con. I was having phone troubles, so if any of my previous comments went through, sorry, this is the one that matters,

Hello! I'm Vera (email plokij909@gmail.com) and I'd like Prowl and Tarantulas in an homage to the upside-down kiss from the spiderman franchise. I'll be there Friday, Saturday, and early Sunday to pick it up.

I might be #20! Maybe! It's tough to tell from the above! In case I am:

My name's W. Dal Bush and I'd love a Springer torso sketch. I'd also love it if you could make my Springer sketch slightly better than Rick's Impactor. Or just make Rick's Impactor slightly worse. Either works for me!

Sorry to bother you again Nick but is it ok to add another character to Impactor torso instead of taking up a headshot commission slot? I would like to add Springer to Mr. Impactor if possible. Thank you so much! Will be present Saturday and Sunday---Matt

My name is Jim Semonik and would be interested in a head/bust/whatever is possible of Needlenose. I will be at tfcon all weekend. I'd prefer the sketch on a blank comic cover which i can provide. Thanks so much.
